Background
The applicant sought to register an arbitral award with the High Court in terms of s 98(14) of the Labour Act. The respondent opposed the application arguing that the arbitral award offended public policy under arts 34 and 36 of the Arbitration Act and that the Labour Court had exclusive jurisdiction over labour matters.
